While we are off topic, an unfortunate typo for a worthy cause. Assume it was an England U23 piece.

“I think what jumps out at you is their quality in the final third as opposed to our quality in the final third," Mowbray said. “Dolan, Brereton, Buckley, they’re young kids, they’ve got international footballers who played in the Premier League last year. “We have players learning the game, there’s a difference in quality at the top end of the pitch, we understand that, but that’s what we are as a footballclub, trying to grow.” What jumps out at me is two centre forwards bought to replace Danny Graham who lasted longer than expected. So he played one then the other out on the wing. And then Armstrong confuses things by scoring freely so he gets the #9 spot. No wonder Brereton and Gallager have not got strikers boots on. There may be no option next season with Armstrong gone and no Dack for a while.

No grey area here methinks. Lose 3-1 or win 2-1 I wish I could bet over here.

“I’ve not come away from any game and thought ‘wow, they’re way better than us’. “ You may regret those comments after this Saturday Tony. By the way, this article outlines the challenges that smaller successful clubs like Norwich endure staying in the Premiership. something to look forward to 🤔 https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwich-city/what-happens-next-for-norwich-city-7796838

Hopefully not. 🙏

Well I am delighted with an away win at Millwall. Gallagher goal and maybe a more balanced team effort not relying solely on Armstrong to knock them in. Lets enjoy the moment and maybe the start of a run.

Postscript to our chat. https://www.90min.com/posts/us-investors-close-to-ipswich-takeover Anyone know any rich Americans. Except Venkys wouldn't write off their investment so easily. And why Paul Cook if you have money?

I respect your opinion. I just beg to differ. What i know is that if i saw him waving a Rovers scarf above his head as the new Rovers manager, I would put my beloved Rovers shirt collection in the bottom drawer until the hate ridden human being had been binned This is an interesting read. There are books and podcasts on how he destroys players. https://www.twtd.co.uk/forum/453519/jason-scotland--life-under-roy-keane

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/football/2018/jul/19/alex-ferguson-roy-keane-blackburn-manchester-united As for Ipswich, my brother has been a supporter for 50 years. He has given me chapter and verse.

Keane, as in virtually destroying Ipswich and turning us down after promising to join us in our boardroom. Horrible human and highly unsuccessful manager. He would last five minutes in Venkyland and thats too long. Trash talking punditry is about his level. Even there he is punching above his weight. NBC Sport does a much better job covering Football over here.

Do you ship to Pennsylvania?😀

Any other team lost four in a row? The Premier League champions. Not lost that many in a row since the 1920s. At least we are in good company. 🥴

Thats true enough. 1-1 and momentum on our side. We will never know.

2-1 to Rovers

Bearing in mind the injuries i am happy with that team. Danger and imagination down the right again. Brereton running at the defence with something to prove. Davenport provides solidity snd Dack as impact sub if necessary. He hasn't got his mojo back yet.

I readily admit that things look rather dismal. Not Sheffield Wednesday, Birmingham, Derby, Notts Forest all big club dismal. But rather dismal. This whole thread is about Mowbray but the players have a role to play too. To be honest things have gone rather tits up since we tried to shoehorn Dack back into the system. The goals have come from Nyambe, Elliott, Armstrong combos. We have also had to shoehorn in an almost fit Travis. We were screaming to get Dack back in and he hasn’t pulled up trees. We have a good squad. I would give Dack a rest, bring Elliott back, bin Bennett and give Davenport another shot. What we need is consistency and balance. We have neither. I wouldn’t ditch Mowbray yet. I know I am in the minority. We are two consecutive wins from feeling like Jack the Biscuit. Two more defeats with an unbalanced team and you can add me to the drizzle cake boycott.

Money isn’t everything. It is a glamour position 🍸

I would have him. Anyone else is just recycled goods. On paper our squad is strong for this division. The key to Norwich success is a consistent team. They need a league for themselves. Too good for the championship. Not good enough for the Premier League.

The only way a new manager would come in is with a promised transfer kitty. Exit Adam Armstrong.

Not sure he is in best physical shape at the moment. His mental shape has always been questionable. The honours section in Wikipedia is telling.

Mrs H has a good nose.

I seem to recall the message board was delighted to get money for him when he went to Palace. Seen as a bit of a donkey by posters.

Three points against an average team. If it gets us where we need in the table, so be it. Glad we have a more settled defence. We are doing Liverpool and Everton a big favour developing their talent. They are doing us a big favour loaning us their talent. Hope the trend continues.

Much talk about Branthwaite and our almost apologetic tone. We have been robbed on countless occasions. Unfortunate but not cynical tackle, not deemed a penalty by the ref. 11 v 11. We score and then boss the game. 1-0 away from home, clean sheet. “We take the points and move on.” 👏
